good on you for trying your han...Hi Cinnamon Sugar,<br />good on you for trying your hand at soap making :) I think it's like everything, if you have a natural flair for it, a bit like baking or any artistic expression, then you will do well. I have endless ideas, so can't see me giving up soap making for many years. I've done endless hours of research, and had many failed attempts. Over the years I have perfected my methods/recipes/formulas and always working on styling etc. Thank you for your kind words about my soap :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089908106331409725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-74506977805474116972017-08-13T14:59:28.100-07:002017-08-13T14:59:28.100-07:00Hi Linda I was just looking at your soaps they are...Hi Linda I was just looking at your soaps they are amazing how did you learn to make them?

Thankyou for your sweet words,...Hi Cinnamon Sugar, <br />Thankyou for your sweet words, they are so encouraging to my heart !!The recipe I use for these and a lot of other muffins is just one I made up myself. It's a base recipe that I can make savoury (by adding chopped herbs - parsley/chives etc, finely diced red onion, grated tasty cheese, or it can be a sweet recipe by adding some sugar to the recipe - 1/3 - 1/2 cup, maybe 1 - 2 T homemade yoghurt, that always helps them rise well and add another spoon of flour. Then frozen berries can be added or fresh. If I add frozen berries I just poke them into the top of the mixture once its poured in the tin, otherwise blueberries will turn the batter grey ..eeee. I also made a drizzle icing, just lemon juice and a little icing sugar. I might do a post on this :) Here is my basic sweet muffin recipe: <br />50grams of butter (about 3 Tablespoons melted)<br />1 egg - lightly beaten<br />1 & 1/4 cups of milk<br />1 teaspoon vanilla essence<br />1/2 cup castor sugar<br />1 x pinch of salt<br />2 & 1/4 cups of self-raising flour<br />1 teaspoon baking powder.<br />Method: <br />1. Mix the milk, vanilla and egg together and melt the butter. <br />2. Sift all the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients and butter to this. A tablespoon of plain unsweetened yoghurt added always adds a nice fluffiness to the muffins :)<br />Mix well, but gently.<br />Bake at 200 degrees celcius for 15 minutes or until cooked.<br />Variations: whatever you like :) berries, or savoury etc, or add spices if you choose.<br /><br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089908106331409725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849778772100810529.post-28433084014271717972017-07-27T13:45:55.546-07:002017-07-27T13:45:55.546-07:00Your muffins look so yummy what recipie do you use...Your muffins look so yummy what recipie do you use .

Incredible journey. Love the pictures in your post. We are just getting started on summer here in S.California. I love the fall best though and your pictures evoke all that fall encompasses--baking, apples, preserving and the last of the garden harvest. Snuggling up with a cozy fire, knitting and hot tea...ahhh. For now we will have to endure sweating in the heat, frolicking in the ocean, eating the sweet fruits and garden tomatoes that are best homegrown and all the other things we do on a lazy summer afternoon. Thanks for the post. Grateful for all the seasons.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10576282168554730638noreply@blogger.com
